Six people were found dead and three injured after a string of homicides and shootings unfolded across two Texas communities on Tuesday before a suspect was taken into custody and charged with capital murder, police said.
Four people were killed and two police officers shot in Austin on Tuesday, authorities said. The suspect, who has not been named, was also linked to the deaths of two people in San Antonio, they added.
Interim Austin Police Chief Robin Henderson told reporters early Wednesday that the man was arrested after he crashed his vehicle while speeding away from a shootout with a police officer that left them with “multiple gunshot wounds.”
She said that the “series of violent incidents” began in the morning “and extended into the evening.”
She added that her department “and other law enforcement had not determined these incidents were connected to the last incident that occurred tonight when the male suspect was taken into custody.”
